We do wheel alignments at the shop so alignment is no problem. BUT, do they need alignment to the extent that once everything is correct there is no more adjustment left in the event it needs alignments in the future or is there still room for lots of adjustment in the future if necessary?

The fact that it needs a lot of alignment doesn't necessarily mean much of anything it is in what department all of the adjustment needs to occur and how much lee way you have to do alignments in the future that will tell you where you are actually at when it is all said and done.

I see from the window sticker on your truck you work at at suspension shop and you will have done alot more of this stuff than me.
Could be the mcg spindles I installed were defective or the design has changed since.
The top ball joints didn't seat in the hole in the top of the spindle the way the oe ones do,
like there was not enough taper cut in the spindle.
I recall at the time a few other people reporting similar fit issues.
On the same truck[2008] the upper ball joints were trash in 10k miles and had to be replaced. That may not be related to the spindles.

I know what your talking about and there is a little seat issue but has had no effect on anything.
